Counting sheep is a mental exercise used in some cultures as a means of putting oneself to sleep. In most depictions of the activity, the practitioner envisions an endless series of identical white sheep jumping over a fence, while counting them as they do so.

God is really only another artist.
He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat.
He has no real style,
He just goes on trying other things.

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us,
and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog

“When gorillas smell danger, they run around and call out to the rest of the primates in the jungle to warn them something evil is coming.
And when one of their own dies, they mourn for days while beating themselves up in sadness for failing to save that gorilla, even if the cause of death was natural.
And when one colony is mourning, their chilling echoes migrate to other colonies — and those neighbors, even if they are territorial rivals, will also grieve with them. When faced with a common danger, rivals turn into allies. And when faced with death, the loss of just one gorilla becomes the loss of the entire jungle.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity.
I see something special and show it to the camera.
A picture is produced.
The moment is held until someone sees it.
Then it is theirs.
